Running xfce4 Fedora brilliantly on an old Dell Chromebook thanks to this, fully recommended!!

PXE, or network boot. It is basically never used (and rarely enabled, if ever, by default) by the individual, but can be helpful in, for example, a large scale OS deployment. Say IT has to get their corporate image version of Windows 10/11 installed on 30 new laptops. They could write a ton of flash drives, but it’d be easier to just host a PXE boot server and every laptop just listen to them.

V6 specifically in that instance would just be for the reason of “we need to move away from v4 anyways”

inside their stores

You should see Walmart WiFi policies

Did you not ever have to have a controller plugged in the host and Link per player? That’s a quirk I’ve faced using my laptop as the Steam Link device, streaming from my desktop.

And yet they couldn’t extend the same courtesy for me when they raised my grandfathered family plan

I’d guess the concern was something to the tune of “if it’s only getting mb power, will it somehow dangerously undervolt or be otherwise damaged?”

I’m thinking that I might buy it once we have creation kit access and mods that add story and flesh out the game a la Fusion City Rising and companion mods for Fallout 4

They sent me a claim form for a steering wheel lock. I traded the vehicle in for a Ford

That’s annoying. Part of the reason for local media is reducing the amount of monthly bills

What’s the state of apps like kodi or other methods of local streaming on Apple TV?

Selling the data, presumably

Alphabet’s monopoly is bad, make no mistake.

But they aren’t controlling all electronic means of communication for 90% of the continental United States, as AT&T did in the ma’ bell and pa’ bell days.

When you browse to a website, your browser passes info about itself to the server hosting that site. This info is intended to help the server provide the best rendering code for your browser. This is called your User Agent.

However, Google is using it here to identify Firefox users, and is apparently choosing to lump them all in a box called “adblock users” instead of trying to identify an ad blocker more accurately.

Wait- OnePlus is good, actually? Last I heard was massive disappointment in the company

As others have said, don’t buy TVs for their smart features. Just use a streaming stick. They are easier to replace as software changes, and there’s practically no real benefit to ever putting a TV online in the first place.

Also, LG panels are the best visual quality. You’re doing good going the LG route. Just keep it offline.

I miss my e280… With Rockbox, it got me through high school, getting to play Pokémon Silver on it

I got a used Fuze v1 off of eBay that works only as long as it boots rb from SD card, the internal flash now dead

Might be too late for that, but BOY do I have a bridge to sell you!

I’ve been subscribed to the same family plan, since about 2014ish. I like it, but really don’t appreciate that they raised the price for basically fuck all. Only reason I haven’t canceled it is that creators I watch on YouTube get far more from me as a Premium user than ad-based viewership

Ever since that switch, I’ve just straight up used a discord bot. Hasn’t failed me yet!
